It’s so true that 90% of problems that heat pump owners have go back to bad installation. These issues can stem from anything such as poor connections, poor flares, or inadequate fastenings. They can also be related to ductwork. If you have leaky ductwork, that leaky ductwork creates opportunities for heat or cooling to escape into spaces like your basement or attic—areas you’re not looking to condition. You want to be conditioning your house, and all of this depends on how well the system is installed.

Even if it’s something like a ducted swap-out for a heat pump system, you still need to evaluate the ductwork and its condition. Consider using technologies like Aeroseal to seal that ductwork more effectively, ensuring your system operates efficiently—all of which goes back to your installer.

This is such an important factor, and it’s what Mass Save aimed for when creating the Heat Pump Leader Network. They are looking for installers who consider all these aspects and want to ensure that customers receive the best installations possible throughout Massachusetts.

These commitments to quality are especially critical this year due to the newly passed “big beautiful bill,” which affects heat pump federal tax credits. The 25C tax credit is ending at the end of this year, meaning that if you want to take advantage of this tax credit (valued at 30% of your project cost, up to $2,000), your heat pump system must be installed by December 31st.

What does this mean? A lot of people will be rushing to get heat pump systems installed. If you’re working with someone who lacks expertise, you could end up with significant issues next year and be very disappointed with the results. So, it’s essential to partner with a company committed to quality installations.
